A man who claims to be Christ reborn is executed and doesn't die.
A girl who knows way too much shows up out of nowhere.
A genocide that would make the god of the Old Testament curse his limited ambitions.

And that is just the beginning.

In the middle of this epic crapstorm stands world-weary security expert Asher Perez who only wants to enjoy his cheap whisky and even cheaper companions in peace.
Why can nothing ever be simple?

The story is brilliantly told in a way that leaves the reader constantly guessing who is on the side of good as opposed to evil. ★★★★★

The story has several layers and more than one major plot twist. ★★★★★
Random Guy on The Internet
The main characters are violent, grim, funny, sarcastic, quick witted and above all unpredictable. And that goes for both the good guys and the bad guys. ★★★★★

Reviews
for Under a Dark Sky

Hardboiled sci-fi with lots of action and wry humor, enjoyable in the same vein as Altered Carbon by Richard K Morgan. ★★★★☆
Random Guy on The Internet
Interesting characters and a world that feels lived in, coupled with an action driven mystery quest to find a missing Messiah, makes this novel hard to put down.
A great read! ★★★★★

Great book, all of it was action packed and tied in together, it's like a sci Fi noir, with an immortal kick, well done. ★★★★★

Oh what a rush. What a beautiful heady rush. ★★★★★
Random Guy on The Internet
The protagonist isn't who he thinks he is and continues to develop throughout the book. He is changed by the people who surround him. The action pulled the reader and the protagonist forward. The twists are philosophical and keep the reader guessing. I wonder what the next steps will be and who he will have to fight.... ★★★★★

I've always been interested in the stories of where man came from. Is there a god (or gods)? This book gives us a glimpse into what might have been, will be or could be. It held my interest through the entire book. I had to stop myself from reading all through the night, like I did when I was a kid! ★★★★☆
